Kobrinsky district Department of the Investigative Committee establishes the circumstances of embezzlement of money from bank accounts of Belarusian citizens.

According to the investigation, cybercriminals placed phishing links to websites that mimic the official pages of Belarusian banks on the Internet. On them, users were offered to fill out a questionnaire for a monetary reward, and to make a profit, enter bank card details. Trusting citizens filled out the proposed form and thereby passed all the information about the accounts to the attackers. After that, the scammers linked the cards to payment services and stole money.

It is established that on June 2 of this year, a 20-year-old man arrived in Belarus to cash out money from Russia. When approaching the ATM, he took measures for conspiracy, hiding his face behind glasses and a hood. The young man withdrew more than 5,000 rubles from the bank terminal, but did not have time to leave the country. As a result of operational search activities, he was detained by police officers.

Kobrinsky district department of the Investigative Committee applied a preventive measure in the form of detention to the man with the approval of the prosecutor. The suspect cooperates with the investigation and makes a confession.

The investigation of the criminal case continues, investigative and procedural actions are being carried out aimed at identifying all participants in the criminal chain, as well as citizens affected by cybercriminals.
